There are questions about the SAT test and study abroad planning heavy awards .

It's best not to go to the university to take the retest, the admission is greatly discounted, even if it is online, it will take half a year to apply, even if it is admitted, the freshman year is equal to reading in vain, and it is necessary to reread it (generally speaking).

Because you're late, if you have a lot of perseverance (which has nothing to do with being smart), then you should do it in half a year (it's not impossible) and apply.

Definitely don't take the SAT after being admitted to college, or take the SAT without taking the college entrance examination, or don't finish your undergraduate degree and go to the GRE, then it is easier to get a scholarship.

I am in the same session as you, the 09 college entrance examination.

1 Theoretically, it's perfectly fine, it's just a standardized test, and it's not necessarily tied to applying to college, so it's perfectly fine.

2 When you go to a U.S. university, the SAT score is not a major factor, you need to have extracurricular activities and a good school average (GPA). American universities have EA, ED and RD, the first two are generally the last quarter of each year, which is equivalent to our early admission, and RD is generally in the spring of the following year, which is equivalent to normal admission. Therefore, the time to apply to university is not the same.

It is more appropriate to draw up a timetable according to your own situation.

3 As mentioned above, due to time reasons, it is too late to take the SAT during the winter vacation, so it is recommended to prepare after the college entrance examination, take the test in October or November, and take the TOEFL score at the end of the year, and at the same time carry out the school selection work (the school selection process is very long) and prepare the materials (it is also very troublesome). If it goes well in October, you can consider whether to take an SAT 2 according to your own situation to enhance the competitiveness of the school and scholarship application, of course, you can not apply, the most important thing is the TOEFL and SAT, as well as the application materials (including essays). In short, the above work will be completed by the end of the year, so that it can be rushed to the RD file in January of the next year.

4 It is recommended to make up your mind to go to the United States and continue to study in one go, so do not keep your Chinese student status, unless you can't learn and eventually return to China. Of course, American universities are known for being lenient and strict, so it's important to have the perseverance and confidence to win. However, you can pay attention to the credits, and if you are lucky, your credits in China can be transferred (although this is very unlikely).

Addendum: 1 It depends on what kind of American university you are applying to, many American universities do not need to take the SATI test at all when admitting, and the same is true for scholarships, after all, the SAT is only called the Scholastic Ability Assessment Test, not all you are applying for. Therefore, if the requirements are lowered a little, you can also apply for a scholarship by relying on SATI alone, but the school will be relatively poor.

It's hard to have both, so make your own choice!

2 If you plan to take the freshman exam, then you actually have more time than others, accumulate some during the third year of high school, intentionally or unintentionally, and then focus on assault after the college entrance examination. It is recommended that you first take the TOEFL test after the college entrance examination next year (2-3 months to prepare, attend classes, according to the OG Barron Delta study plan, generally the medium-length study plan given to you in these books is two months, and after the review, you will take it out in September or October), which is not only a warm-up, but also a light-off burden. Then concentrate on reviewing the SAT I, and it will be slightly easier to memorize the SAT words after memorizing the TOEFL words.

If you feel good about SAT II, if you feel confused, it is recommended that you do not take II, and would rather take the I again to consolidate your score of I.

3 i and ii are to be staggered, but there is no rule that says to stagger for half a year, so the time is not as urgent as you think. As long as you grasp the time in front, there will definitely be time for you to maneuver and adjust in the back.

I'm honest, now the economic crisis, the United States University he rarely even gives scholarships to domestic students, let alone international students, basically the first year is impossible, unless the score is extremely high and low, but 2400 in the SAT is not high, but after the second year, with your level on that side, there is hope to get a scholarship, the United States will not let go of any talents, so you must be extremely good, especially if you speak well and write badly, the SAT only takes the written test, and it is not to look at the IBT when you give the award, So please don't have too much hope for the first year of lz, if you prepare for the second year of high school, you can still have a year, but you have to work very hard, otherwise you will have a gap of a year.

It doesn't have to be any leadership skills! The most fundamental is TOEFL 110 or above; SAT 2200 or above, of which at least 700 is required for critical reading; SAT(ii) requires a perfect score of 2400 or very close to 2400.

In addition, a minimum of 20,000 words is required for SAT 2300, plus proficiency in English reading and logical analysis. Of course, the math is easy.

Without a score of more than 2000, you will shrink when applying to the top 50 schools in the United States, especially the top 20 private universities (and this is where your best hope for a scholarship lies).

2.As a freshman in high school, there are two years to prepare, including SAT1, SAT2, AP. Here's how my time is arranged: Potato Rush Book.

In October of the first year of high school, I signed up for a weekend SAT class (6 hours once a week), and took the first test (2060) in June of the first year of high school;

At the same time, I enrolled in the AP Economics (MAC&MIC) class (3 hours once a week), which passed in May of my first year of high school;

In the second year of high school, I enrolled in the AP Calculus and AP Statistics training classes;

In November of the second year of high school, I passed SAT2 in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry;

I took the second SAT (2200) in June of my sophomore year of high school;

Of course, this is just my experience, but some of my classmates don't take the SAT and SAT2 until the third month of high school, and I personally think it's a bit urgent and psychologically stressful, so it's better to get ahead of schedule.

3.The question of whether to enroll in cram school depends on your self-learning ability and financial conditions.

4.I'm a few macro in Shanghai, where SAT cram schools are flying all over the sky, but there are really not many good ones, I was introduced through my friends, in the future of Bomei, I feel very systematic and rigorous, and the teachers are also very human, which is more in line with my taste.

A bunch of things that don't pull or pull, I don't know if I can help you, refer to it.

1 If you really have a basic knowledge of English, the ACT is easier and no better for you.

Only one is required for the SAT or ACT. Generally speaking, the SAT is used in the United States, and the ACT has no market in the East of the United States.

Scholarships that are directly tied to the SAT or ACT? I don't know.

Regular schools do not require SAT ACT scores, only the TOEFL.

2 TOEFL is simpler and mandatory, so it is recommended that you get the TOEFL first. Timing, depending on your foundation. If you go to take the test paper now, you will find that the TOEFL can easily get 100, and it will not take time at all; If it's 50, learn it.

3 There are many scholarships for science and engineering. Specific scholarship requirements. There are very few scholarships available to international students.

Most of the scholarships are based on **, actual grades (works, published articles, patents, etc.). Unless you're very good, don't expect a scholarship too much, let alone a full prize.

4 As long as you graduate from high school, you can go to an American university, and you don't need a fresh graduate. However, the top schools generally only accept fresh graduates.

If you make up your mind to come to the United States to study, give up the college entrance examination; If not, don't give up.

1. About time! It's true that both SAT and ACT times are tight. And the reading volume of each section of the ACT is greater than that of the SAT. So it's not enough time! That's why you have to do a lot of practice questions to get used to!

About overall! The SAT is much harder than the ACT! Most U.S. schools require the SAT instead of the ACT, and if you decide to go abroad, the test will only be accepted by a small percentage of schools.

2. How can international students get scholarships and various financial aids? The better you do in the U.S., the more funding you will receive. It can be said that studying in the United States, I am only afraid that you have bad grades, I am not afraid that you have no money, as long as you have good grades, many ** are willing to sponsor you, whether you are an international student or a student in the United States, the treatment enjoyed in this regard is the same.

3. Studying abroad or taking the college entrance examination is a dilemma for many families. From your current situation, there is only one year to prepare for the USJU exam, and you need to do TOEFL or SAT preparation, which is very tight. I suggest you make a trade-off.

This is based on the child's academic performance and willingness to apply in the future. Generally speaking, if you are located in the top 50 schools in the United States, you must take the SAT, otherwise you can apply to the right school with a good TOEFL score.
